If you could cure ONE disease tomorrow, which would it be and why?

[Papa Deuce]

Ok, mine would be diabetes. Sure there are many worse things, but so many people get this. And I know several who have it.

Plus, I really think that it will be a cureable disease in the next 5 years, maybe 10. Just my opinion, no real basis in fact.

 

[FreshTressa]

Cancer...because it is so scary for people.

Diabetes would be second because it affects my whole family.

 

[palmtreegirl]

Parkinsons because my father has it.

 

[JennyMominRI]

What disease kills the most people worldwide? Cancer? Heart Disease? Influena?
I'd pick the one which kills the most people. I can't be selfish and pick the one that most effects me personally

 

[FreshTressa]

I think heart disease kills the most people.

I don't think it is as scary as cancer for some reason though.

I think whatever you've got..Or whatever your loved on has,is pretty scary..I have Cardiomyopathy,a heart disease and it's prettyscary knowing that sudden death can happen at any time with Cardiomyopathy..I do thin though that generally there are not many diseases that can put the fear of G-d in people like Cancer, Aids or maybe Ebola,can

I guess I meant heart disease as in the kind that just out of the blue kills you...I guess I did not think about people that were living with it.

Adult Onset Stills Disease (think I got that right)
so I could have my friend back cause i miss her

 

[HomeSweetDisney]

Alzheimers. I'm watching my grandmother suffer through it and it's really hard. But then I suppose it's harder for the family than the person who has it. They aren't aware of the changes in themselves, especially after it's developed so much. But if not Alzheimers I'd like to be able to cure AIDS. I know 3 people IRL that have it and I wish I could cure them

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Cancer, hands down.

 

[Kitty 34]

Cancer

 

[Mermaid02]

I work with cancer patients all day long- it affects people of all ages, races and backgrounds. I would pick cancer.

 

[kdibattista]

Cancer... I have lost too many loved ones to that killer.

 

[aprilgail2]

cancer..especially childhood cancers!

 

[mickman1962]

watching someone you love die of cancer has got to be one of the worst things in the world, so another vote for cancer.

 

[dmslush]

Cancer

 

[BuckNaked]

Cancer, hands down.

You've got it right, Kayla.

With something like this, it's hard not to be selfish when it's something that the person you love most in the world was diagnosed with it less than 6 months after your wedding and you've watched it destroy them over the past 6 years because it's the stubborn kind that won't go into remission.

Heck, it doesn't even have to be a complete cure (although that would be a Godsend); a strong enough pain killer that would let her manage the day without hurting would be great.

Cancer. My husband has diabetes but as long as long as he keeps his diet under control along with meds he does fine. Cancer, on the other hand, is much worse.

 

[Christine]

Cancer (of course that's gonna be a hard one because so many cancers are different from each other).

Then, I'd have to say Type 1 Diabetes. I don't include Type 2 in that because I think *most* people with Type 2 can control it and have a decent life if they take care of themselves.
